Review Summary

Reviewers describe Hoshi as a small, cozy Japanese spot on the edge of Chinatown with authentic flavors, where generous portions and affordable prices pair with a simple menu centered on katsu, curry, udon, tempura and donburi. Dishes like rosu katsu, hire katsu curry udon, katsudon, ten don and salmon don are frequently praised for a crispy crust, juicy meat and well balanced sauces, often accompanied by miso or creamy mushroom soup as a starter. The atmosphere and service are praised as warm, attentive and friendly, with staff going the extra mile and soups served while you wait. While most reviews are glowing, a few note small seating area, wait times during peak hours, and occasional inconsistencies such as overly salty soups or katsu that is not perfectly prepared. Overall, Hoshi is seen as a hidden gem and a standout spot for authentic, flavorful and generous Japanese meals in a modest setting, especially for pork lovers seeking a standout katsu experience.

Cozy little Japanese restaurant located on the edge of Chinatown, with friendly staff.
You can get a really nice katsu experience here, it was nicely breaded & fried perfectly. Further, if you are there on a weekday lunch they also serve free soup of the day - it was quite delicious.

I went there on a Thursday night & the staff was so nice & friendly! I got the hire katsu curry & the meat was so soft & tender. It's a hidden gem in Chinatown! Definitely would go again!

Tout ce qu'on peut retrouver dans le meilleur de la culture japonaise.
L'esthétique des plats, le service fait au bon moment pour la température. La qualité irréprochable du service.
Ça m'a tellement fait penser au Japon ! Un brin de nostalgie & une merveilleuse adresse à garder.
Même les prix sont top !
Merci 🙏

Came several times & the food is always delicious & they're generous with their portions. The tempuras are fried perfectly & everything is super flavorful & fresh.

The restaurant is very small but you don't feel uncomfortable eating there.

Cute little eatery, with its 20 seats, a paradise for pork cutlet lovers! Each generous dish comprises a big, thick chunk of cutlets served with rice (katsudon), udon (curry) or bread (sando). The lunch specials were a bang for your buck, offering a combo with a second extra soup.

Very cute restaurant, food was exceptional, generous both in size & in price. Bit of a slow service, but well worth it for the food.

Heavily recommend the Hire Curry Udon
